The Amazing Adventures of Marius The Cat

My cat Marius, is a wanderer. He is 16 and has 9 lives. He was almost eaten by coyotes and he lived to tell about it. Marius has been known to wander off for days, weeks, months... but he always comes back. Saturday he didn't come back, Sunday he still wasn't back. I was a tiny bit worried, but Marius is amazing and always can find his way back. Although this time, something didn't feel right. I decided to stop in at the local humane society to just see if maybe he might be there. I walked through the Lost animals, cute dogs and cats that i felt so bad for, poor things. I wasn't expecting to actually see Marius there, so i was just putzing around saying hello to the animals. Then i walked into the next room, black cat, calico cat, funny looking dog, Marius, white cat... WHAT! I did a total double take. I yelled, Hey that's my cat!!!There he was, just chillin' in his little cage, not even looking a bit distressed. He looked up at me and I swore he almost said, "I knew you would come for me, no worries." I started crying. Silly cat.
